I've been a loyal customer of Game Country products for many years, as my Dad was before me. The Day II timer is the best, most trouble-free timer I've ever used, and I've used a number of other brands. In fact, one other well known (unnamed) brand was so unreliable and problem prone that I swore to never again purchase one. By contrast, I've owned at least a dozen Game Country Day II timers and have never had one fail to perform. These timers stay out in all kinds of adverse weather conditions, from rain, to hail, to snow, through summer heat and winter cold and keep on working flawlessly. I am an unabashed fan of the company and its products and will always remain a loyal customer.
